This has to be in the top 3 of your best canoe videos. What a great adventure with friends and Xander. BTW having seen all your videos , I have never seen you smile and laugh so much. Pure joy. Good for you brother
IMHO, TED gets the ***GOLDEN DOG*** award/trophy….NO spills, NO falls, NO injuries, NO complaints, NO excuses…..all with a badly busted up canoe !!! BRAVO !!!
@@maximbudnick Jim also gets MAJOR KUDOS for his operatic voice that echoed through the wild. They call him the “Paveroti of the North Country”. When he sings those slow songs, it’s enough to make a moose cry !!!
Maxim, I so enjoyed watching this video! I watched Zander's last week and now yours. You each have your own style and I enjoy both! I especially enjoy your bird shots and footage!
There are so many things to compliment on your videos. They are peaceful, relaxing, calming, absolutely amazing photography. Among all the great things, one of my favorites is you name all the birds. Love your talents that you share! Thank you! ❤️
Wow! What a great video Max. Beautiful. You captured nature at its finest and most powerful! I was blown away by the physical exertion of all of the guys! And the great teamwork! The Bald Eagle shot was magnificent. Thank you
01:18:41 At this point Xander was spot on!!! my goodness!!! "You stay out of the way just in case it starts barreling down" and then it's happened within a second! wow he was so much aware.
Classic Xander moment where he jinx his own misfortune. A certified Xander moment in fact. I get the feeling he’s done this before…perhaps in his childhood.
Videography is excellent! I really like the way you ‘tell the story’…..candid, real stuff….and I love the shots and chit chat around the campfire. Great stuff Max!
Thanks, Mike! I really appreciate the feedback on the storytelling, which is the toughest part for me. It's difficult to speak in an earnest tone when you are talking to a camera lens. Cheers and thanks again!
Hi, Mirkatu! Hope you've been having a great weekend. Yeah that was pretty scary stuff! Important to be on your toes and alert when there is a big heavy object being lowered above you - Tom and Jerry made this very clear on numerous occasions... :D
Imagine waking up to a new notification: Max Budnick uploaded new video... Time? 1:54:51 As fast a possible make a coffee some toast and click play. Yep.. It's going to be a good day! Thanks Max keep up the adventure!
@@maximbudnick well Max I think near 2 hours is a bit long at tho I like it. But from creator point of view and TH-cam maybe do part 1 and part 2 each being one hour long perhaps..
Thanks for the hard work and the seat by the fireside. Great camaraderie! It's one of the things no one can fake. It's 100 degrees here in Florida and your statement about Superior's clean crisp air almost got me in my Jeep.
Ive been watching everyones vids of this trip,they have been great. But totally love how u start out with the crazy Boat Bomb almost took out poor Xander! love Xandar , and love all u guys ! great fun, love from Michigan
Hello Erin and greetings from Ontario! Thanks for stopping by and watching, despite all the other opportunities to watch a video of this trip! Really appreciate the support... Have a great rest of your weekend!
What an amazing trip! Those portages looked absolutely grueling. Even so, your video made me want to get out canoe tripping more badly than ever. Stunning video, Max! Thanks for taking us along (and for naming the cute little birdies).
Hello, how good these rapids are beautiful forests, the noise of the water relaxes me, what beautiful places and the names of the birds, oh very good 👍🌞🖐️
Thank you Adrian. I love the noise of water as well - it relaxes me. Lots of people find it difficult to sleep next to them - but for me the sounds are like a lullaby! Cheers and thank you for watching!
Great white watering!! I love your videos, always a great adventure and your eye for the beauty of nature in your environment and your being able to bring it to all of us for relaxation and enjoyment. Dehydration works great, takes up less space and still tastes great!!! Till your next adventure Max, take care my friend and keep the videos coming!!! Later
Hi max what a cracking journey fulfilling and tiresome those portages looked killer man ,hard going as well as filming it all and dealing with obstacles when carrying a canoe defo need to be on top of your game on this trip. The canoe that broke loose due to the lone snapping was a heart stopper for sure glad you all have your wits about you was defo hairy and thankful no one got hurt this was one of the best trips and I’m sure you will agree with great friends and brother thanks for both sharing loved the journey take care and wish you well 👌👍🚣🏻🚣🏻🔥🔥⛺️⛺️❤️
Another amazing video. I’ve said it before and will keep saying it, your editing is fantastic. It the same trip I’ve seen twice already) Jim and Xander) but this a most not a repeat but your own video Keep it up ❤️😎
Wow ❤loved every second the first second and third time viewing ❤❤.. epic nature shots .. you are a great narrator what an absolutely nail biting trip you took us on thank you Max.
WOW , Good job guys , see ya all stuck close together through this one .. not to mention being with the Baird Brothers , ya did well .. the only one who was missing was Jon from lost lakes 😉.. Nice video .. filming ..bringing us along with yr adventure as seen through the camera eye... 👍
Epic trip Max! I was out filming on Saturday and tripped and fell on a rocky area. Hit my head causing a brain bleed, 3 broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. It was really nothing of a fall, but caused traumatic damage. I was lucky to get to a hospital by myself. Kept overnight and luckily released the next day. All to say, you and Xander please stay safe out there and enjoy. Take care man. Hope to run into you both someday. I'm in Ottawa.
Indeed Bart I would attest to this! I was just lazy though and wanted a quick breakfast without having too cook anything involved. Thanks for watching!
I love the sound of water all throughout this video. Last year, I was feeling a lot of anxiety. I couldn't sleep unless the tv was on. I had put yours and Xander's videos on a loop while I slept. Your videos are so comforting. I am truly grateful to have found your channels. ❤ Also, how heavy is your canoe?
Hello Amy! I also listen to videos mostly history channels going to bed. I find it helps a lot. It means a lot to me to hear that coming from you! My Canoe is about 55 pound 🙂
Those few seconds in the beginning.... and then the music intro. Glad yall made it in one piece! The camping and paddling around the bay at the end...what beautiful country yall have!
Just a beautiful river and always fun to watch all you guy's run rapids 👍 I really enjoyed your version of the trip with the high quality of filming & editing with music & bird identification. Great job 👏 👍 thanks so much for sharing this adventure with us ❤
Cool trip Max, the camping experience really translates through your lens. That kamikaze canoe is definitely going to spike the timeline, I watched it like 5 times.
Fantastic! I paddled the Dog 50 years ago. Now I want to dig out my photos. Glad to see you're not one to say you conquered the river, but rather just enjoy it and natures beauty.
@@maximbudnick Appreciate it! One day we'll have to do a river trip together. I'm really jealous about that Dog River trip... :) Type 2 fun at its best!
Thank you, Arthur! That is a very nice compliment - specially because I have never felt like a strong public speaker. Thank you for watching my video. Enjoy your weekend :)
Magnifique! Amazing! What fun! Watching the videos of this trip so far, has taken me through a gamut of emotions... anticipation, nervousness, happiness, etc. I swear, I could even feel the physical aspects of it. I felt tired, sore, energetic, adrenaline filled, pride from challenges that were accomplished! Thanks for taking us along! What a wonderful group of macho, macho men! 😀👍❤
Great images. Love that you’re paying attention to (and giving an ID) for the warblers. I enjoy your short video “portraits” of water, plants and people. Respects the place and sets a context for the action.
Bravo Maxim! You made a fantastic video of what may be the most technical water route in Ontario. The geography and wildlife are superb as is your drone footage. Most enjoyable canoeing wilderness video.
What an unbelievably amazing journey. You did such a wonderful job capturing and conveying the realism of the nature, danger, fun, adventure, and camaraderie that you experienced along the way. Thank you for taking us along.
Real good intro, liked the birds, I don’t see many of those, beautiful rocky river the drone shots really fit in well and gave good perspectives to the rapids. Thanks for all that tough travel, great trip
Top-notch videography, as usual! And great story-telling, too. :) What struck me in this one was how hard you guys work on those portages "Just take a stroll through 'the woods' with a canoe. a food barrel, other stuff you need to keep from dying, plus all of those camera_cases/batteries/tripods on your back, and be all casual doing it." You guys are consummate professionals.
So far I've seen Xander's and Ted's version on this trip.And now this one and every one of them has been really great, You all show different things and you're excited about different parts.I love your footage of been in the water going down the water.It was wonderful. Looks like an amazing trip and it certainly is one of the most amazing rivers.I think you've ever gone down. Thanks so much for all the work you do and for sharing, What a great bunch of guys to travel with. God bless you❤
Holy smokes Max! I’ve loved all your videos, but this is next level! Your cinematography is insane! Thanks for sharing this one. Also, it was great meeting you the night before the trip out at NSA. Thanks for chatting with us and letting us hang with you guys around the fire!
I am loving watching all your different videos on this one Max. What a great crew! So glad you are happy with your new Esquif and your thoughts on being alone vs. with a group certainly resonate. Thanks for the amazing bird (love that you identify them!) and loon footage ❤. I think there needs to be a spot for a travel guitar in the new boat 😉 And may I suggest carrying an eye cup and small bottle of normal saline in your First Aid kit for eye issues such as foreign bodies to flush those out. Small and easy to carry and invaluable no matter where you are. Feeling carefree, quite simply the best and it showed ☺️ Much appreciation Max and hope you will have many more adventures this summer 💜 B
Wow! A spectacular adventure with an equally spectacular video to showcase it! Glad you challenged yourself a bit, must feel good to say you did rapids, even with a tip or three! As always, stunning natural videography as well! Water, moon, birds, landscape, allows us to see what you see and appreciate all your efforts even more. I also enjoy listening to your reflections about your trip.
I am really enjoying the different versions of this epic trip. Back in the day we joined some beer cans together to fix the hole in our muffler pipe. We must have drove like that for another couple months before getting a new one. This was a great adventure with some bush worthy guys.Thanks to all of you for taking us along.
Quite the adventure. Lovely videography. I enjoyed the music, especially the piano/violin duet which was perfect for that moment. Stunning bird shots; flowers too. Thank you Maxim for your beautiful work. As always, your insights and commentary were excellent.
I’m so proud of you for pushing through this and coming out safe and more experienced 😊. Well done 👍. Great video! I almost had to make me a coffee with rum but I had faith that it was going to be okay 👍.
A very enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing Maxim. Your whitewater canoeing skills have improved immensely. Great to see you enjoying running rapids so much.
This was exciting to watch. You guys all did great. I'm not even a canoer, my son turned me on to all these Backcountry trips. He's into them. But I do enjoy watching them. I love being in nature so it's fun to watch these. I am however a huge bird nerd, and I absolutely love the bird clips you add to your videos. Lol! You have some great skills videoing them. Warblers are tricky too. They are so quick and so small. It's a challenge all on its own to get a good shot. 😊
Hello Chris and thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I've always loved the birds when out in nature, but getting into bird photography/videography has come as a bit of a surprise - I've learned to love it so much! You've got some nice videos yourself - love that one with the cardinal swaying in the wind - the swaying gives it such feeling and I love the character i the birds face and head movements. Cheers and thanks again for stopping by!
Your best video production to date Max. You guys are an awesome team and so well-balanced. What a group of beasts for the Dog! This will be an experience you all will savour for many years.
Maxim your cinematography, Timing and what you share is awesome. Loved all the video of being you in the boat on the river.Such wonderful shots.And you really did do a great job coming down those. I think. This was a real epic trip and video and you shared it so amazing. Really like the music that you pick as well As the commercial lottery between all of you You are four of my favorite people that I have followed the longest, Only one missing is jon from lost lakes. Like the new guys too.They'll be fun to get to know. You guys being blessed, And I. Will surely look forward to the next time❤ by the way i'm a seventy four year old grandma who lives in portland oregon and loves to camp. Blessings
Everyone read and like: Max can you do a behind the scene video showing what goes into preparation, setting up cameras, bloopers and over all stuff you guys have to deal with like wearing wet shoe all day, food preparation and etc... ❗If anyone also like to see this click like ❤️ so Max knows how many of us want to watch it.
Thanks! Ya I do for longer rapids (I use a bungy) There was so much in and out that often I would not for expediency. Also when scouting I usually take one barrel and my camera case to the the end of the rapid to set up the shot out of principle I try not do any rapids with my camera gear:)
Maxim thank you for sharing your video. That look like a trip of a lifetime shared among friends.👍 enjoyed the birds with the names. Great photography and drone shots. Eddie hopping with a nice violin and piano music playing it was 👏.
No way you don’t have 100k subs minimum. Your videos are such an amazing experience.
Thanks, man! I really appreciate that!
agreed!!
I really agree with the above.. I’m subscribed to his brother’s channel and he’s a pretty amazing guy also with top tear content. ❤❤
Agreed! This is beautiful
100% agree. Great content n a super nice guy 😊
This has to be in the top 3 of your best canoe videos. What a great adventure with friends and Xander. BTW having seen all your videos , I have never seen you smile and laugh so much. Pure joy. Good for you brother
haha ya Darrell we had such a blast! All the guys were so much fun it was an amazing crew
Family and friends and a shared experience. What life
Is all about! Good on you Max!
As someone who watches these types of videos on a big screen TV....THANK YOU SIR for uploading in 4k. And....awesome video
You are very welcome!
Fantastic...I know it was your great pleasure to bring this adventure to us; trust me, it was mind to view it! Great job, Max.
Thanks, Brant. Glad you enjoyed it!
IMHO, TED gets the ***GOLDEN DOG*** award/trophy….NO spills, NO falls, NO injuries, NO complaints, NO excuses…..all with a badly busted up canoe !!! BRAVO !!!
PLUS……I think he caught the most fish !!!
Ted is such an outstanding guy - an absolute pleasure to spend time with. I fully support the Golden Dog going to him!
You're mistaken here - Jim caught the fish!
@@maximbudnick Jim also gets MAJOR KUDOS for his operatic voice that echoed through the wild. They call him the “Paveroti of the North Country”. When he sings those slow songs, it’s enough to make a moose cry !!!
Maxim, I so enjoyed watching this video! I watched Zander's last week and now yours. You each have your own style and I enjoy both! I especially enjoy your bird shots and footage!

That is so kind of you, Lori. Thank you for your support
Wow! What a great video Max. Beautiful. You captured nature at its finest and most powerful! I was blown away by the physical exertion of all of the guys! And the great teamwork! The Bald Eagle shot was magnificent. Thank you
Thanks for your support Nicholas! it was a lot of effort but really rewarding because of it!
Love all the little birds you highlight along the way
Thanks! I like them too
Yes me too ✋️ ❤
Same here 🙋
Nice to see little bird lovers.Little birds bring magic
@@kjames8299 with Maxim we can withness the nature around the trip
01:18:41 At this point Xander was spot on!!! my goodness!!! "You stay out of the way just in case it starts barreling down" and then it's happened within a second! wow he was so much aware.
I enjoyed Xander's video of this same trip, and I'm totally into seeing this adventure from your unique perspective.
I am always glad to hear that!
@@maximbudnicksame here! You have such a different perspective and I am here for it!
Classic Xander moment where he jinx his own misfortune. A certified Xander moment in fact. I get the feeling he’s done this before…perhaps in his childhood.
Certified Xander moment INDEED haha
That fall looked pretty brutal. Glad you came out on the upside.
Ya the fall was definitely brutal. I had a moment on the ground when I had to check because I expected to be injured. Glad I wasn't.
Videography is excellent! I really like the way you ‘tell the story’…..candid, real stuff….and I love the shots and chit chat around the campfire. Great stuff Max!
Thanks, Mike! I really appreciate the feedback on the storytelling, which is the toughest part for me. It's difficult to speak in an earnest tone when you are talking to a camera lens. Cheers and thanks again!
Whoa, I had to re-watch that crazy rogue canoe at least five times. I'm so glad no one was hurt. :-)
Hi, Mirkatu! Hope you've been having a great weekend. Yeah that was pretty scary stuff! Important to be on your toes and alert when there is a big heavy object being lowered above you - Tom and Jerry made this very clear on numerous occasions... :D

Thanks for naming the birds.. love all the wild areas you all float. Keep up the adventures.
Max, thanks for the bird id's. Unexpected treasure of this great video. Good style and sounds of the woods/water!
Thanks, Charlie! Glad you liked it. Hopefully I got all the bird ids correct. It can be tricky! Thanks for watching

Hope you enjoyed it, Maarten!
Love your choice of music. Beautifully curated and love how it doesn’t compete with the visual beauty you’ve captured in your video. Well done sir 👏🏼
Thanks! Selecting music takes a lot of time so I appreciate that!
I get it! I’ve been producing music for years so can definetely appreciate your choices. Next level buddy 👍🏼
Great adventure great crew and masterful photography as usual !
Congrats on the new canoe !
Thank you Anne Marie! The canoe was awesome this trip!
Scenery, adventure, editing, commentary, company, Beautiful!👀
Thank you very much!
Hi max what a cracking journey fulfilling and tiresome those portages looked killer man ,hard going as well as filming it all and dealing with obstacles when carrying a canoe defo need to be on top of your game on this trip. The canoe that broke loose due to the lone snapping was a heart stopper for sure glad you all have your wits about you was defo hairy and thankful no one got hurt this was one of the best trips and I’m sure you will agree with great friends and brother thanks for both sharing loved the journey take care and wish you well 👌👍🚣🏻🚣🏻🔥🔥⛺️⛺️❤️
Thanks Peter! Ya the falling canoe was a hairy moment. It was hard but super rewarding!
@@maximbudnick rewarding and beautiful what's not to love about this journey, amazing ♥
Another amazing video. I’ve said it before and will keep saying it, your editing is fantastic. It the same trip I’ve seen twice already) Jim and Xander) but this a most not a repeat but your own video
Keep it up ❤️😎
Thanks! I appreciate that. I try my best to make it my own especially on group trips like this
Wow ❤loved every second the first second and third time viewing ❤❤.. epic nature shots .. you are a great narrator what an absolutely nail biting trip you took us on thank you Max.
WOW , Good job guys , see ya all stuck close together through this one .. not to mention being with the Baird Brothers , ya did well .. the only one who was missing was Jon from lost lakes 😉.. Nice video .. filming ..bringing us along with yr adventure as seen through the camera eye... 👍
Yes Jon would have been an amazing addition. Perhaps next year! Thanks for watching
Great Video!! Has been fun watching each one of your versions of this trip...
Thank you for watching my version, Dave! Hope I was able to show a few different angles. Cheers and thanks for the support!

Ya its all good. Just a scratch. Healed up real quick.
Maxim, add a pound of bacon to your dehydrated beans and you won't even need a paddle. Damn the ozone full speed ahead.

Same!
Thanks!
Cool trip Max, the camping experience really translates through your lens. That kamikaze canoe is definitely going to spike the timeline, I watched it like 5 times.

Keep making them and I'll watch them!
So far I've seen Xander's and Ted's version on this trip.And now this one and every one of them has been really great, You all show different things and you're excited about different parts.I love your footage of been in the water going down the water.It was wonderful. Looks like an amazing trip and it certainly is one of the most amazing rivers.I think you've ever gone down.

I think there needs to be a spot for a travel guitar in the new boat 😉 And may I suggest carrying an eye cup and small bottle of normal saline in your First Aid kit for eye issues such as foreign bodies to flush those out. Small and easy to carry and invaluable no matter where you are. Feeling carefree, quite simply the best and it showed ☺️ Much appreciation Max and hope you will have many more adventures this summer 💜 B
Love the way show us the names of the birds etc. helps so much and your photography is awesome. Thanks so much. I’m hooked.
Just finished Xander’s video the other night. Can’t wait to check yours out!
Make sure you watch Jim Baird version too. If you haven't.

Fantastic video. One of your best. Xander didn’t mention the muffler problem in his video. Must have been too embarrassed 😂😂
haha not at all. He just had to leave for another trip which he is on now and probably just cut some corners to push the video out.
Amazing trip , we enjoyed warching every minute ! Thank for sharing . God bless , He has mad all things beautiful !.
Thanks a lot William!
I love how you slip in those nature shots, the story telling and soft background music. Premier film making Maxim. Inspirational.
Really appreciate that man! Means a lot to me
A Incredible Adventure
Thanks! it really was
Absolutely loved watching this what an amazing trip❤
Thanks so much Lynda!
Epic. Gonna save this one for tomorrow night.

How fun it is to watch the same trip from different viewpoints. Thanks guys.
So awesome, I watched it twice!
Wow! I'm honored, Allison! Hope you've had a great start to your week...
From all the 3 videos/versions I've watched of this trip, yours is the most cinematic 👌 Beautiful shots nonstop.
Thank you, Adeline! That means a lot because I enjoyed the other videos as well! Thanks for stopping by!
love watching your brother, Jim and now you thank you all i really love your adventure thank you for sharing
My pleasure, thanks for watching
Quite the adventure. Lovely videography. I enjoyed the music, especially the piano/violin duet which was perfect for that moment. Stunning bird shots; flowers too. Thank you Maxim for your beautiful work. As always, your insights and commentary were excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback! You are appreciated!
You take some really amazing shots! Take 3.
Thank you for watching, Catal! Cheers!
I’m so proud of you for pushing through this and coming out safe and more experienced 😊. Well done 👍. Great video! I almost had to make me a coffee with rum but I had faith that it was going to be okay 👍.
Hey Rebecca thank you! Now I wish I had made the video scarier - so you could enjoy that coffee with rum! 😅
A very enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing Maxim. Your whitewater canoeing skills have improved immensely. Great to see you enjoying running rapids so much.
Many thanks Jay! I certainly improved on this trip.
This was exciting to watch. You guys all did great. I'm not even a canoer, my son turned me on to all these Backcountry trips. He's into them. But I do enjoy watching them. I love being in nature so it's fun to watch these. I am however a huge bird nerd, and I absolutely love the bird clips you add to your videos. Lol! You have some great skills videoing them. Warblers are tricky too. They are so quick and so small. It's a challenge all on its own to get a good shot. 😊
Hello Chris and thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I've always loved the birds when out in nature, but getting into bird photography/videography has come as a bit of a surprise - I've learned to love it so much! You've got some nice videos yourself - love that one with the cardinal swaying in the wind - the swaying gives it such feeling and I love the character i the birds face and head movements. Cheers and thanks again for stopping by!
The first of your videos that I’ve seen. Really appreciate that you identify the birds you encountered. I’ll happily watch more of your work. Thanks.
Hey there! Glad you and many others enjoyed the bird labels - I'll keeping doing that :) Thanks for stopping by!
Your best video production to date Max. You guys are an awesome team and so well-balanced. What a group of beasts for the Dog! This will be an experience you all will savour for many years.

Max can you do a behind the scene video showing what goes into preparation, setting up cameras, bloopers and over all stuff you guys have to deal with like wearing wet shoe all day, food preparation and etc...
❗If anyone also like to see this click like ❤️ so Max knows how many of us want to watch it.
Hey Filip! that is a good idea. I will have to think about it and try something like that in the future.
Great video! Be sure to tie your barrels and gear down in the canoe so it’s doesn’t shift. It will make compote stable and less dumping.
Thanks! Ya I do for longer rapids (I use a bungy) There was so much in and out that often I would not for expediency. Also when scouting I usually take one barrel and my camera case to the the end of the rapid to set up the shot out of principle I try not do any rapids with my camera gear:)
Maxim thank you for sharing your video. That look like a trip of a lifetime shared among friends.👍 enjoyed the birds with the names. Great photography and drone shots. Eddie hopping with a nice violin and piano music playing it was 👏.
Thanks Raymond! I was experimenting with that scene and I am glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome guys and Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing this Awesome trip 👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸👍
